Description General Info
Description
A dramatically-colored but harmless snake native to Mexico, the coral earth snake burrows for its prey and sometimes for shelter. It gets its name from its resemblance to coral snakes, which are deadly poisonous and avoided by most animals. This mimicry helps protect it from attacks--by everything but humans that mistake it for its deadly cousin, anyway.
